Kristin Davis Plans To Use 'Sex And The City' As A 'Teaching Tool' [Watch]
Kristin Davis wasn't really a fan of her kids watching "Sex and the City." But now that they are growing older, she is considering using her show as a tool to educate them.
The actress appeared on Friday's episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show." When host Kelly Clarkson asked Davis if her kids — 3-year-old son Wilson and 10-year-old daughter Gemma —have seen her in the series, Davis said her eldest child got into a fight with her when she saw a person watching a scene from "SATC" with her mom in it.
A revival of the show, titled "And Just Like That….," was released last month on HBO Max.
Davis said she felt "a little scary" to discuss the show with Gemma at the time. But now that her daughter is older, she's okay with her watching the show and is even open to discussion, People reported.
"Now that she's older and now that she's getting exposed from her friends to all this stuff, even though I'm very controlling… I'm thinking I'm going to use it as a teaching tool," Davis said. "I don't want her to feel embarrassed. I want her to talk to me. I'm a single mom, it's super important… gotta keep them talking. You know, 'Sex and the City' is kind of a good educational type thing… for later."
This is not the first time Davis has opened up about the importance of being transparent with children.
She had multiple conversations with her daughter about race after the murder of George Floyd, the actress told People in July 2020.
"I talk to Gemma a lot about what's happening and she's fascinated, of course, and sad and upset," Davis said at the time.
"I just want them to feel empowered, and I want them to know what's going on because it's not something that you can not talk about," she added. "I hope that everyone feels that way because it is something that we're struggling with as a country, as a society. And hopefully, if we all take part in this struggle, we can actually do something."
As a mom to two Black children, Davis wants "to be clear" that her struggles are "with our country's attitude toward race," noting that her relationship with her kids is "amazing."
"It's a lot of things to think about and it's a lot of things that we, who are white, have the privilege of not having had to think about when we were young," the "Sex and the City" star said. "They don't have that privilege."
Davis adopted Gemma in 2011 and Wilson in 2018.
